Metallurg Magnitogorsk vs. Neftekhimik: Ivan Romazan Memorial Match Prediction
Magnitogorsk Metallurg will play a home tournament match against Neftekhimik on August 28. The Foxes are currently leading the league table and have earned their first points, but will they be able to show themselves well in the upcoming match against the Wolves? By the way, previous matches between the clubs often ended in favor of Magnitogorsk, especially when they played at their home arena. However, Andrei Razin is still trying out different combinations of players, and because of this, the club is showing inconsistent results. Maybe it’s worth betting against Magnitka? You will find out from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Metallurg managed to play only one match at this tournament against Salavat Yulaev, in which they celebrated a 3:2 victory. Then Andrei Razin's team played well in the second twenty minutes and managed to score two unanswered goals. However, the team's play in the majority raised questions, since they did not use any of their four attempts. Before that, in friendly matches, the Foxes often had problems with their defense, and they often conceded more than two or three goals, but if the goalkeeper was at his best, the game was much easier.
Interesting trends for betting

- According to statistics, the Foxes block 13 shots per match

Nabokov, Smolin, Yakovlev, Orekhov, Press, Maklyukov, Khabarov, Minulin, Eremenko, Silantyev, Grass, Bashkirov, Mikhailis, Kozlov, Petunin, Vovchenko, Geraskin, Wilson, Akolzin, Johnson, Korobkin
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk
Russian FederationCurrent form
Neftekhimik had already played in another friendly tournament, where they suffered three defeats in a row and showed very modest results. By the way, in the first match with Magnitka, Nizhnekamsk also scored only two goals, but still managed to win with a score of 2:1. At the same time, Oleg Leontyev's charges made a total of 45 shots on target, but the implementation of the moments in that match clearly left much to be desired.

Zagidulin, Ozolin, Kiselevich, Klok, Khlystov, Pastukhov, Abrosimov, Leontyev, Kovalev, Belozerov, Mityakin, Tochilkin, Rtishchev, Khoruzhev, Muissu, Sokolov, Urakov, Yakupov, Poyarkov, Anokhin, Fakhrutdinov
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In four out of five games involving visitors, the first period was unproductive
2.05Bet 2nd period: Magnitogorsk win
In two out of four games, Magnitogorsk achieved success in the second period.
2.05Tip and bets
In our opinion, Metallurg should win this match without any difficulties. Magnitogorsk is playing in a home tournament, and they always play well on their home ice. Neftekhimik is inferior to its opponent in class and earlier, in another friendly championship, it lost to the Foxes with a score of 1:2. We think that if Andrei Razin's charges improve a little in the majority, they will succeed in the upcoming game.
Prediction - Metallurg win for 1.75
Bet on total
We wouldn't expect a lot of goals in this match. Metallurg hasn't been very productive in previous games, and they've let in very few goals in return. The same can be said about Neftekhimik, which plays closed hockey and has serious problems converting chances.
We take the total under 5.5 goals for 2.20
